the good isit is very very accurate and gives good distance to the balls. also i have shot probably around 15000 balls and only broken one and i think it was because i put the velocity too high.

Weaknesses:

the only bad is it is a little too long but thats pretty much my fault for buying the 20". its nt that big of a deal i thought it would get in the way and make it hard to move but i cant tell much difference in this one and my 12".

Conclusion:

overall this is a good barrel and i would recomend it to any one with a model 98 and has the money. get this not the flatline.
